Hi Dear Experts:
We have a lot of Languages for Web Developments (Server Side), if i am not wrong ASP(.Net) is Getting Down science PHP Came. and People are more Interested to learn PHP. WHY?

And Also What are you Using
PHP or ASP(.Net)

Im using PHP. Overall I find it faster and cheaper to run!

Check out http://www.aspvsphp.com/ for all the smart reasons to pick PHP!

I am using PHP.

I started using it because I liked the syntax move than ASP.

Wow talk about out dated information. ASP.NET can connect to mySQL (remember ASP.NET is different than ASP). You can get tons of free IDE's for working with ASP.NET. You don't have to purchase IIS, it comes with the Windows Server OS you purchase

Most ISPs support PHP. Those that support ASP.NET will bleed you for it.

The "LAMP" stack is not only extremely popular and it's basically free.

I use ASP.NET for intranet stuff at work, PHP for personal projects.

I disagree with that statement @baavgai. I pay a little under $10 a month for my host which supports ASP.NET and they give me150GB of disk space and 3000GB of transfer a month. In fact they charge the same for PHP hosting as they do for .Net hosting.

EDIT: Oops, didn't see the ISP part, I was referring to web hosts. My bad

Nope, you're correct. I meant ISPs and web hosts in general.

Not saying they don't exist, just uncommon. Hostgater will give you unlimited storage and bandwidth for $5. They do not have a Windows option. You can get ASP emulation for $13. Windows, coming soon...

If the web host wants to support Windows, it simply costs them more to do so. A company is reasonably going to balance that cost somehow.

For my domains, I want SSH. On a *nix box, that's as good as being there. For a Windows box, not so much. I also need a database backend, for Windows I might get a SQL Server, again headless management applications are lacking here.

Also, and this is important, how many premade PHP based web applications are out there versus ASP.NET? For the standard web customer, the loaded fantastico is a better seller.

And how much longer has PHP been out than ASP.NET? You have to remember, in relative terms ASP.NET is an infant in the world compared to PHP. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything bad about PHP (since I can write in both) but I do prefer ASP.NET. The number of pre-made web applications in ASP.NET is growing by leaps and bounds

Interesting point.

Just did a little walk down memory lane:

I'd been doing ASP pages for years before I'd even head of PHP. At the time, your web host options still leaned toward perl and ASP beat that hands down. ASP was so popular that JSP was introduced as a direct response.

As a development environment, with Visual Studio, ASP.NET is untouchable. I don't really think it's timing or technical superiority that PHP enjoys. Rather, it's a lot like the Visual Basic of the web. You don't have to know that much to get a PHP site rolling and there's lots of plug ins for when you're stuck. If your Apache server is setup properly, your first HelloWorld page is minutes away.

Sure, ASP.NET offers the same and more. But it can be intimidating to someone just dipping their toe in. You need a big download to get things going on the client side. Used to be you also needed IIS to test your work and deployment could be tricky. Newer versions have fixed that, but deployment can still offer many roadblocks. In contrast, PHP is still a lot like old ASP; drop a folder on a server and you're done. You don't even have to set up an application share on IIS before it will run.
